Instructions for use
Figure 2 –integrated leads with IEC 60309-2 inline socket(s) with 2P+PE pins
Connect Supply to approved IEC60309-2 Plug / Socket Connectors (2P+E pattern), 230V 50-60Hz 32A (blue).
Dual voltage version has an additional lead and socket for 110V 50-60Hz 32A, yellow.
With power selector switch and load switches in their “off” positions, start the supply (generator) for test.
Switch test supply to desired voltage suitable for the operation of the load bank.
Switch on the load bank using the main power switch.
On the dual voltage version this is a selector switch; select either 230V or 110V.
Verify the fan is running and the voltage & frequency is indicated on the corresponding meters –see Figure 3.
Select the desired loads in turn using the toggle switches, in steps of 2kW, 1kW, 0.33kW, or 0.66kW.
Maximum load is 6kW.
On the dual voltage version, when operating at 110V, do not operate continuously at loads in
excess of 3.68kW (32A).
When testing is complete switch of the load sections using the toggle switches.
Run fan for 5 minutes after completing test to cool the unit.
